Abstract
Scientific information is the foundation of the food and health market, the availability of which can influence the success of a product and provide a competitive advantage. Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) has a significant advantage in this regard as it has strong clinical efficacy data that can be used to build consumer and food product company interest. Flax is an oilseed that is grown in cool, northern climates such as found in the western Canadian prairies and northern U.S. It can be consumed in whole seed, meal or oil form.
